Gotta be my favorite game of last year. Ironman mode is where it's at. I've pretty much destroyed it on ironman easy and ironman normal (first time I had satellite coverage over every country), but I've had to give up on ironman classic several times. It's so awesomely hard.
Unreal 4 Engine/Next-Gen Tech Demo

And according to Epic, this is running on the PS4 at real time.

I loved "X-COM Enemy Unknown" but I couldn't get far in it. I am just not good at strategy/tactical games. At all.
I will surely go back to it, but I will also be turning it down to the absolute easiest difficulty level.
I was playing on normal and got my ass handed to me in the first crashed mega-ship.
The Wii U Won't Be Getting Unreal Engine 4
I wonder how long we're going to have to wait before all this "support" shows up for this console.
Would Batman really stand a chance?

How long until Unreal Engine 4 is good enough for Wii U standards? Get your shit together, Epic.
Fuck this looks good. Fuck fuck fuck.

Beat the main campaign for "Gears of War: Judgment" and have moved into "Aftermath" (the secondary campaign which tells a side-story taking place during the events of the third game).
Epic Games really need to work on their villains. This is the fourth game in the franchise, and the fourth game in which the villain is completely nondescript.
In this game the villain is General Karn who is...well...he's a Locust, and apparently a General (as stated in his name). That's all you know. He rides a big monster, and he's seen riding past you on the monster at the beginning of the game, and then at the end he shows up for the final boss fight. That's all there is. I'm leaving nothing out here.
The arc for the main characters is interesting enough, in that it kept things moving from point A to point B, and gives a bit of back story on how the characters got where they were at the beginning of the first game.
I found it very distracting how obviously the female Gear is modelled after Blake Lively. It was kind of weird.
I also found it kind of weirdly sexist how the game treats her. You'd figure that since she's a Gear she must be some badass, but she's the character who you find out had some love affair with a married man, and the character who cries when bad stuff happens, and then at the end when you have Karn down-but-not-out (is it really a spoiler to say you beat him?) she's the one who doesn't want you to kill him - "This is war, not cruelty!" she exclaims.
Of course you can counter that by saying that in the first games Cole spent the whole time broken hearted over the potential loss of his wife. But it still just rubbed me the wrong way.
I also find it funny how the male Gears can all be big, ugly, gruff badasses, but the females still have to be hot and skinny with big boobs and butts, and walk like they're strutting through a night club.
Anyways, the game was OK. Frustrating in that it has some of the best level design and visuals of the series, but it utilizes these in oddly constrictive ways.
Yeah, I've been watching those Injustice battle videos, and you gotta admit, even if the fight mechanism turns out to be shitty, the background interactions look pretty impressive.
I would probably be excited about Injustice if I was not so un-excited about DC these days.
Fighting Cthulhu in Darksiders II atm. FYI meg.
Was it, like, legit Cthulhu? Or a generic demon with a Cthulhu-esque figure?
Are you ever going to play Bioshock, meg?
